Why is the process of citizen dissent vital to a functioning democracy?

Answer:

Citizen Dissent, when occurs when a group of people see the need to collectively and intentionally disobey a law or laws designed by the majority whose foundations are unconstitutional and inimical to national growth.

Citizens who dissent are like a "course correction" technology in the gizmo that drives democracy.

Explanation:

To dissent means to disagree with popular opinion. To disagree with the practice, process, procedure, aspirations and methods, of a political entity and or government;

It could also mean taking a position that conflicts directly with the majority or the political entity in question.

History shows that many of the noble quests and some of the ignoble ones which went on to shape our world today are a result of Citizen Dissent.

For example, there was once an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, for successfully used nonviolent resistance in a campaign for India's independence from British colonial rule. His name was Mahatma Gandhi.

George Washington, in March 1776, led the Continental Army that forced the British to evacuate Boston. It was against this backbone that America declare independence from Britain due to its harsh colonial conditions.

In a dysfunctional democracy such as is prevalent in most of Africa, it is possible to have all the elements of colonial rule in force. A democracy means that people have the right to agree or not to. If it is popular, it only means that the majority allowed, it not because it is constitutional, or moral, or the right thing to do.

It is historically correct to state that everywhere in the world where citizens became despondent and unperturbed or dispassionate about errors arising in their polity (especially in a democracy) such a state will soon degenerate into a socio-political organ that favors only those in power.

Cheers

If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by a
Usimov [2.4K]

This question is not complete; here is the complete question:

A one-hectare pond is sampled in early September. The sample yields 1 small catfish as well as 17 benthic invertebrates that represent 10 species.

If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by adjacent development?

A. An uncommon species has become more numerous

B. An increase in low-tolerance species has occurred

C. A decrease in high-tolerance species has occurred

D. Phylogenetic diversity has occurred

E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased

The answer to this question is E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased

Explanation:

In ecology, an ecosystem can be affected by adjacent developments including human developments or even other ecosystems and this can lead to positive or negative consequences.

In this context, one example that shows the was an adverse effect is "The biodiversity of the pond has decreased" because the reduction in diversity represents a major thread for an ecosystem as this makes species more vulnerable to disappear. Also, this can be caused by factors such as pollution caused by human development or major predator of the adjacent ecosystem feeding on organisms in the main ecosystem. Besides this, in the first sample, there were multiple species and a reduction in the second sample shows the ecosystem was weakened.
